Engineering & Design
There is no outsourcing in our engineering team. Instead you will find an in-house department that consists of Professional Engineers, Designers, CAD Technicians and Field Technicians that possess a strong working knowledge of both the National Electric Safety Code and local utility construction standards.
Black & McDonald engineers engage our field personnel in constructability reviews. This approach results in high quality drawings with minimal field changes, which saves time and money for our customers. Our engineering team is well versed in a wide range of design packages, including those employed by our customers. This enables our team to create designs directly in our customer asset management and mapping systems. Black & McDonald’s service offerings range from single pole designs to large EPC projects.
